I can personally vouch for the high quality of Delta's new clubs in LGA, FLL, MSY, PHX, MCI, ORD, MSP G18 and BNA, as well as both domestic clubs in BOS, the remodeled clubs in DCA and PBI and the wonderful clubs in SFO, SAN, SEA, SLC and HNL. Delta's club network is by and large great, except (1) it has more passengers entitled to access versus the actual capacity during peak times at major airports and (2) Delta's on-board human-provided services have suffered almost in direct proportion to the quality of the physical improvements they've made at their major domestic stations and to AVOD and wi-fi on their planes.

I think the only clubs in Delta's system that could be better would be PDX, DEN and PHL, and even then these are not too bad. I haven't been to LAX since before the pandemic so I can't comment on the new club in the T2-3 Skyway.

No offense intended, but the fact that a generic Platinum card can get a once a decade Delta flyer into the club is absurd.

Someone flying once a decade is not providing a noticeable amount of Sky Club crowding.

Mountain Explorer and ekozie like this.

Did PBI get remodeled? It seems the same as always to me. Small and usually overcrowded.

It was before the pandemic, but the club was remodeled; the mosdt noticeable improvement was the insdtallation of the buffet area at the far end of the club.

walk times to/from far gates?

For us infrequent LGA users, what are the approximate walk times from the high-60s gates and the high-90s gates to/from the new Sky Club?
Looks like the old Sky Club before gate 81 doesn't open until 10 AM?

10 mins either way. 15 if you're a slow walker

You probably asked about 60s and 90s, assuming those were the furthest. But temporarily, the 80s gates are the furthest. A good 15 min walk. That will change next year when the connector opens, the 80s gates will be almost directly in front of the club.
